Be more involved. Teach the associates that if a customer walks and looks like that he/she cannot afford the pricing at Nordstrom, let them know that one particular customer could be the one who could make the quota of the day. It is all about perception, and unfortunately salespeople ignore customers whom they believe in their minds may not have the money to spend, and that is why some really wealthy customers just walk out after being ignored. As they say, never judge the book by its cover.

2I started working for Nordstrom's website back in 2011 when Nordstrom decided to switch to an Agile Software delivery cycle for web features. I was told that Nordstrom was investing in the web heavily, and so left my old workplace to take a chance on this organization.Let me tell you, big mistake. They have no plans, and do not listen to their front line employees. It's all about who you know, and not what value you bring. The leadership is out of touch with how things are done and more interested in being yes men to the product management group, that they overlook the main issues that are affecting them not being able to deliver things to the website. Do NOT work for the IT organization. It isn't worth your time and headaches.
